Paul Merton's Silent Clowns

Laurel and Hardy (1x3)

Air date: Jun 08, 2006

Paul Merton profiles Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, whose huge popularity today is due to the fact that they made the most successful transition to the talkies of any of the silent clowns. But it was in their less well-known silent films that the duo developed their distinctive style and trademark sense of comic timing.
